Have a '12 XF 800 high country. Bought a rear skid and track from a '12 PC M800, minus the rear shock. My question is can I use my rear shock from the HC in the M skid? Everything seems to be identical except for the length of the rails. Don't have a M shock to measure for length and the part #'s for the HC and the M are different. Don't care to buy another shock when I could use the $$ on ALOT of other things.

Probably a color difference or something. It's the same length, but MIGHT have slightly different valving (another reason for different part #) you should have no trouble swapping it.

I agree with BCIL. Probably valveing......... I know the local hill climbers will put a x-fire front track shock in an M series skid because the valveing is better for what they do

I would guess the M shock would have a stiffer valving because the longer rails would have more leverage against the shock. Just purely a logical guess tho:face-icon-small-hap

The valving is the only difference that I can find, the body, rod, and end cap are the same part number..
